Congress Dissolves Five Sister Organizations for Failing to Hold Conventions
Kathmandu. The Nepali Congress's Central Working Committee meeting has decided to remove the presidents of sister organizations that failed to hold their general conventions within the stipulated time and for which there is no basis to hold conventions, and to dissolve their central committees.
The decision made at the meeting held at the party's central office in Sanepa on Monday states, 'Even though the party formed a steering committee with a specific mandate, most sister organizations have not held their general conventions within the time specified in the schedule, and since there is no basis to hold conventions, there is no need to extend the deadline.'
The decision does not specify which sister organizations have had their presidents removed and central committees dissolved for failing to hold general conventions, but the decision states that the central committee meeting held from Ashad 16 to 23, 2082, had decided to extend the deadline for holding conventions within the time specified in the schedule for those organizations for which ad-hoc committees were formed to complete the general convention.
The sister organizations for which ad-hoc committees were formed to complete the general convention had submitted a schedule to complete the general convention by the end of Poush, 2082. Since they have not yet held their general conventions and there is no basis for doing so, the decision to remove the presidents of such sister organizations and dissolve their central committees was made at the working committee meeting.
There are 5 sister organizations whose presidents have been removed and central committees dissolved. According to information provided by Joint General Secretary Yogendra Chaudhary to Rato Pati, the working committee has decided to remove the presidents and dissolve the central committees of Tarun Dal, Nepal Student Union, Nepal Women's Association, Nepal Dalit Sangh, and Democratic Sports Association.
Among these organizations, Tarun Dal President Bidhan Gurung and Dalit Sangh President Lok Bahadur Bishwakarma have already resigned from their posts.
Since these two organizations had ad-hoc committees formed to complete the general convention, their central committees were automatically dissolved. Tarun Dal President Gurung resigned on Baisakh 16, and Dalit Sangh President Bishwakarma resigned on Baisakh 21.
The president of Mahila Sangh was Usha Raut Mishra, the president of Nepal Student Union was Dujang Sherpa, and the president of Democratic Sports Association was Devendra Sherchan. The Congress had previously given these sister organizations a deadline of Chaitra 31, 2081, to hold their general conventions, after which their terms would automatically expire if they failed to do so. Subsequently, for those who submitted schedules, their deadlines were extended until the date mentioned in the schedule based on the recommendation of the steering committee, with it being stated as a final extension.
The working committee meeting has assigned the responsibility of making necessary arrangements for holding the general conventions of sister organizations that have not held their conventions to President Gagan Thapa. The press release issued by the acting chief secretary of the party office, Krishna Prasad Dulal, states, 'In accordance with Article 42(1) of the Nepali Congress Constitution, the responsibility to make necessary arrangements for holding the general conventions of all sister organizations that have not held their conventions is entrusted to the President of the Central Working Committee.'
Congress General Secretary Pradip Poudel informed that necessary decisions have been made to advance the sister organizations in an organized manner. 'We will soon advance the sister organizations in an organized manner,' General Secretary Poudel told Rato Pati, 'The party will facilitate in strengthening them from a policy and ideological perspective.'
